By using Z Aqua-Poxy as a primer, you will eliminate the darkening that occurs with Ultra Z Poxy or other traditional epoxies. Detailed instructions included on the bottle. 100% countertop safe.

Maintenance and Sealer Selection Guide
Note: For a thicker application more coats can be applied. A light sanding must be done between each coat. You can also apply the epoxy in thicker coats by gauging and floating it it with one of our applicator pads rather than rolling it on.
**Avoid sticking tape to sealed concrete. Chemical bonds can form between glue and sealer which can be strong enough to pull off sealer and stain. If this happens, these areas can normally be sanded and spot fixed**

Reviews
Mediocre at best
"I wouldn’t used this stuff again or waste my money. It’s not durable, and chips easy. The second part of the epoxy didn’t last 6 months in its bottle in a temperature controlled environment before hardening up and now useless. So that was pretty much a waste of money since I planned on doing more countertops in my rentals but now I won’t be using anything from CCS going forward except their forms."
Z Aqua Poxy saved my counter tops!
"I made, I think, every mistake a person can make when making concrete counter tops! Long story short, I ended up grinding down the waves I made from screeding. Then little holes started showing up. I called support, learned the Z SiAcryl 14 I planed on using before my mistake will not seal the type of holes I had. But this product z Aqua Poxy does get into the holes and seals. I ended up creating streaks. (my countertops are so large, (4x10 ) the sealer began to set before I could roll the opposite way. ) I was able to sand paper that out after I learned that because they are so large, it took the sealer longer to dry. (Tom is an awesome support. I should’ve just asked in the first place to avoid all these mistakes ) so after letting it dry completely for three days and light sanding, with two people rolling only one direction leaving no marks (took less than 5 min), we were able to apply a beautiful coat. After three more coats, I am so happy with the results. thank you Z countertops for saving my countertops from the sledgehammer."
Awesome product
"Love the finish. Easy to work with. Minimal odor."
Just what I wanted 4 years ago
"FINALLY I got someone from your company who listened. Erica Alderman was amazing! She listened, responded quickly, followed up, and did I mention responded quickly? I have a lot to say about how hard it was for me to get what I needed after your 'help guys' just kept recommending sealer, WHICH I HAD ALREADY TOLD THEM WASNT GIVING ME THE SHINE AND DURABILITY!! I was so frustrated. . . Now, after Erica i got the help and product that makes my cartons beautiful and usable. Sealer was not practical alone as it was dull and so easily scratched. Here's the end result. Thank you Erica. Please give her a monthy bonus for doing more than the 3 males I spoke to over 3 years I struggled."
Super disappointed
"I had much higher expectations of this product based on the description, price, and recommendation given by one of the employees. We have a textured countertop and had used the aqua thane (found many pinholes that’s didn’t seal) and proceeded to completely sand down and start from scratch. After purchasing the Z-Aqua Poxy and following every instruction from the technical data sheet perfectly, from prep to application-even verifying exact recoat time- the durability is AWFUL. We have had 5 chips within a month; which have exposed the concrete underneath and have allowed water to get through and seep below the surface of the sealant. This product went on nicely and looks nice but does not perform as it was promised. I can’t believe it’s marketed to last and frustrated to have spent so much time and money for this. Now I’m stuck between patching chips forever and hoping I catch it before something stains or start over again and going for a different brand with a better sealer. I’d recommend saving yourself the time and money and look elsewhere for sealants."
Easy application. I will use it again
"Easy application I will use it again"
Works pretty good but not hard enough.
"This was a redo of our kitchen counters from 10 years ago. I used diamond wheels to sand and polish the old concrete that we originally used z-pozy on. Takes a lot of time to layer it on. Multiple days to add multiple layers. Also learned you can’t use mixed epoxy the next day or it turns opaque when it dries. Thai was an easy fix though as I lightly sanded and redid it with a freshly mixed batch. After 4-5 layers, it “looks good” but should be harder after 4-5 layers as it gouged and chipped too easily for me and wasn’t as durable as it was the first time around. Looking at the ultra z poxy to go over this so it will be more durable. Just watched a great video where the guy laid it don’t on plywood and made a couple of different stained and patterned countertops and an island. Just want durability."

"Went on fine three coats and has nice deep shine with a thick feel and look."
Z aqua poxy
"I so regret not using a simple penetrating sealer… This so called 2part epoxy is chipping off from everyday use, It’s stupid! I do not recommend it! Not to mention the price is ridiculous! Thought I was using the best product out there. Wrong"
Q&A
- Can the aqua apoxy be used on wood?
- Yes, this would adhere just fine to a porous surface like wood as long as it does not have any previous coatings or sealers that may interfere.
- We have a lot of scratches in countertops after quite some time how can I remove or repair them? Also, our kids stuck tape to the countertops. How can we repair that?
- Chances are reciting the sealer will fix both issues but please send us some photos to info@concretecountertopsolutions.com and we would be happy to help.
- Trying to find info about fumes and odor as do this in my home with a pregnant wife was wondering being food grade is there anything to worry about
- Nothing to worry about using this product indoors. It is water based so there are no VOCs or harmful odors.
- How long does the counter remain tacky after sealing? About how many hours afterward would it be safe to use the countertop again?
- With Aqua-Poxy, it should no longer be tacky after about 24 hours but it will continue to cure for up to 5 days so we would recommend waiting at least 48 hours until you really started to use the countertop.
- Can you apply aqua poxy over a countertop with s counter shine on it
- Yes but I would sand the surface first with some 100-200 grit paper to to scuff it up.
- Can you clean with windex?
- Yes, you can use any household surface cleaner. You just want to avoid any abrasive cleaners like Magic Erasers or Scotch Rite pads.
- Sealer dried leaving chalky finish. How do I fix this?
- Please seed us some picture to info@concretecountertopsolutions.com and we would be happy to help.
- Can you apply this over a painted surface or do I have to use the Ulta Z Epoxy?
- There is no reason this cannot be applied over a painted surface but I would make sure the surface was properly prepped and primed before it was painted. If the paint peels underneath it will cause the epoxy to fail.
- Does this work for outdoor?
- NO, we do not recommend using any epoxy outdoors because it will yellow in sunlight
- Can I use epoxy dye to color this and give it a marble effect?
- You cannot add pigment or metallics to the Aqua-Poxy since it is not 100% solids but you can to our Ultra Z Poxy.
